I'm going to be purchasing and installing some of these soon... either 4 or 6. Theres loads of colors and flash patterns and ya can even synch them together. Better still... 4 cost less than $100 and they are water proof
Plus, you don't need to drill ya headlights because you can mount them on the grill or bumper right by your lights.

Those are 12v (12.8v output) rated LED lights. Meaning that they are noticeable at night or in poor light, but are very hard to see in the daylight. So, yes they would work if you're using them for night, or just simply for show. Not for safety during the day. Mine have a 18.5 max output, and are also NOT approved for what I do, but not required either.
I would like to see a vid of them once they're installed. Both during the day and night.
(note) to be legally classified for DOT approved use they have to be rated 22V output (I.E. Whelen's vortex system is rated 22V. All non-branded LED haw systems will be 15 or maybe even less. Not bashing those lights, I'm just letting you know that those clearly say 12.8, and if you plan on using them for safety during the day you will be severely let down. Best of luck with your install! Post pix/vids of the final product!
Looking on that page there is also the SEM3 product. That would actually be the BEST bet. It's not the NUMBER of led's on the unit it's the optics that spread the light effectively. It's $6 more per unit, $24 for a kit of four doesn't sound that bad to have a 100% improvement with properly directed light output. If you want an example of this being important look at every major brand name on the market, nobody has quantity over quality. 3 LED's with proper optics will always outperform 30 identical LED's without optics.

Link the sync together on one side or the other, if you're using a cannon or dual color (for reverse or dual color operated) to whatever you're also using.
Find an existing loom to the cab, wrap your wires in split loom, zip tie it along the loom with BLACK zip ties to your cab entrance. Usually a grommet under the interior "F-150" step.
Profit.
